LULING — The Kiwanis Club of Tri Parishes is partnering with St. Charles Parish Parks & Recreation to host a River Parish Youth Tennis Championship March 11-12 at Monsanto Park, 13001 River Road in Luling.

The first game will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, March 11. While the championship is scheduled for March 11-12, all play will be finished on Saturday if weather allows and the draws are not too large.

Registration is $45 per player and $25 for a second event. The championship will include singles + doubles for boys and girls 18 and under and singles + doubles for boys and girls 14 and under. Registration is available at playtennis.usta.com/Competitions/justingoings/Tournaments/Overview

All proceeds go directly to the Kiwanis Club of Tri Parishes, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in St. John the Baptist, St. James and St. Charles parishes through local service projects.

The local chapter is part of Kiwanis International, a global community of clubs that empowers members to pursue creative ways to meet the needs of children such as fighting hunger, improving literacy and providing guidance. Kiwanis Clubs host nearly 150,000 service hours each year.

Since the local chapter was formed in 2022, some events have included a lunch & learn, a college and career fair, and a Princess Tiana tea.
